2 years, I believe, from -14.

For further details, she got caught with 0.2 promille, which is also the limit for the crime of Steerdrunkery in Sweden.

Funnily enough she would still have been legal here, the limit here is 0.22 promillle.

She's Bosnian and over here she'd be fine with anything up to 0.5 Damn shame this happened, she was setting a great example for all the other Bosnians living in Sweden.

Also, I don't think there'll be any issues at the most, like 95% of Bosnian Muslims drink.

[wobbly]

Yep. I wouldn't put too much faith in the Muslims don't drink bit unless they're hardliners or conservatives. I've never actually met an Australian Muslim who wasn't a big drinker for instance.

29 Year old Aida Hadzialic, known for being both the youngest minister (of Higer Education) ever in Sweden, as well as the first muslim minister, has resigned, after she was caught by the police for drunk driving. She can face up to 6 months in prison as well, although usually the Swedish court settles drunk driving cases with a hefty fine.

I'm guessing she won't be welcome in the mosque anymore either.

Nah fam just spin this with the angle of a positive recovery from a fall from grace

Meanwhile, Erdogan has made a statement that "if NATO allies remain unwilling to sell air defense systems (Patriot) to us, we will have to start looking for other partners who will."

While NATO has had Patriot systems installed in Turkey for years now, those have never been actually sold to Turkey. They are borrowed from various NATO members on rotation, and I'm not sure, but I believe they also remain under the direct command and control of NATO instead of the Turkish armed forces.

Just rhetorics... As if the alliance would be selling in power to sell them instead of US or other countries.

[Vilanat]

He is probably referring to Russian made Air defence systems, i presume.

You can be 8 times higher than that in England. Although in Scotland you basically can't drink any alcohol before driving.

Tsundere Erdogan.

[hector13]

No, just thinly-veiled threats Erdogan. He's trying to get the best deal for Turkey - perhaps just himself - and he doesn't seem to give two shits if he burns bridges in the effort.

All aboard the Purge Train! Choo Choo! It ain't got no breaks!

[Erkki]

Also, USA now moving their nukes out of Turkey, and reading between the lines, preparing to shut down operations at the Incirlik airbase...

[WealthyRadish]

Seems to me that if Erdogan had not been acting like a flamboyant hotdog with delusions of Turkey's greatness and kept out of the international spotlight until now, he could've had all the purging he wants while continuing to play both sides. His failure to keep the US and EU sweet signals to me that his successor's going to have to try a little harder to keep a coalition's sword off his neck, if the country doesn't implode in Erdogan's lifetime.

But then again in fantasyland, maybe Trump will be president of the US, and selling his soul to Putin will look like a genius power play on the road to rebuilding a neo-Ottoman fascist Caliphate, coming soon to a Balkans near you.

Don't be so realistic, mate! It gives me the jeepers-creepers! ´~`

When you think about it, Trump's "braggadocio" and Erdogan's "not flinching if I'm proven a murderous idiot"-style are actually one and the same: avoid admitting failure at all costs, even if it makes you look like an absurd buffoon in the eyes of a 21-century audience.

When you get down to it, this kind of idiocy is exactly what was known as "honour" in the olden days: the issue of losing or retaining one's honour has nothing at all to do with facts, as we understand them today---it's all about convincing people about things that might or might not be so.
